Dear Tesla owners with Lithium-ion batteries, on these pages and in numerous other sources, I've come across various pieces of advice from different "experts" on how to correctly charge our cars' batteries and use them. However, none of these "great scientists" provided any explanations as to why these practices are necessary or where they acquired this knowledge. In the video below, Professor Jeff Gahn explains scientifically, based on experiments, the correct and optimal ways to charge and store your car batteries. These insights are grounded in years of experimentation and references to scientific works by other researchers. Conclusions are drawn on how these batteries will perform under different charging and discharging conditions. So, invest your time and watch the video below. If you find it too lengthy, you can skip to the 41st minute for a summary of the research results. You may start watching from the third minute, as indicated in the link:
If spending 45 minutes seems too much, and you prefer a condensed version with summary data and links, check out the video below:
I would love to hear your opinion on this matter and welcome all comments.
